Just got all details relating to my EQC claim released to me under the OIA.

Stupid bastards and their ever changing stories, my claim fits a new bracket every phone call, and all my notes say nothing according to some people I talk too.

FFS.

Clients supplied us/me with shitty quality files to go on  2mx3m wall print. This happens too often and usually gets shrugged off with "it'll be fine". 2m x 3m wall prints go up, and I get it in the neck because apparently I "must have used the wrong files".

I'm used what is supplied to me, and what's worse is that it's the boss that is blaming it on me.

Holy fucking shit balls!

EQC called me back with some answers! Not that they were of any use, but it was answers!

Actually I spent the 1st 15 minutes trying to figure out if they were actually talking about my house

Nah, the official story is that chilli is Arsey and Prolax's spawn, although the doctors are still unable to figure out how it happened

No wonder he was so handsome.

Well when I woke up, I tried to access my account through my phone and it said that the password or email was wrong, then I jumped on my PC it told me that I had to verify my account (which was bloody annoying, as it refused to send out the verification text message until I pressed the button a million times).

Then once I got past there I was faced by a page telling me that 'suspicious activity' had been noticed on my account in the last twelve hours and I had to change my password.

Then when I logged in there was a whole load of failed messages which had been attempted to be sent from my account, and all of them were exactly the same with some dodgy link in them. Sent to all of my contacts.

And this too.

Na, bollocks - it happens all the time if you connect via your phone. I get it sometimes on my iphone if i've connected through wi-fi then try to connect via my 3G account. I think google can't handle it.

The best thing about Finance Minister Bill English\'s latest Budget is that it does finally signal a much greater role for the private sector in the New Zealand economy. And another step along the way to extract this country from the political cul-de-sac in which Helen Clark\'s Labour Government parked us.

Fark~!

Must be a full derp because I have four clients and all have done fail things this week.

Best one was a client wanted an animated intro for their videos, they supplied text and an audio loop and said to do whatever looks cool.
I spent a several hours doing some nice clean titles moving nicely with backgrounds.
Got an annoyed email saying he wanted it in black text and white background with fades in/out like he sent me along with a .ppt illustrating it.
I'm going to call it a loss and not email back.

This time of derp can be tough.

This is how bad it is,

EQC - So we will re-carpet your whole house to replace current carpet, and redo all the cork tiling. yadda yadda yadda...

ME - That's nice, my solid kauri floor I currently have with no carpet will love being covered, and why wouldnt I redo all my lovely tiles with cork! Are you sure you have the details on my house, I have no carpet and zero cork tiles.

EQC - ummmmmmmmm

EQC - ummmmmmmmm

That's something that I would have done in an earlier life.

Now I believe in the power of suggestion, the carrot instead of the stick etc.

adblock ftw. thank god you can ignore individual images


but yeah, it should be removed. waste of bandwidth (plus I thought there was a forum rule about sig max size, both filesize and dimensions (not just with OLWAG), looks like that went out the window at some point)

What you really mean is:

"My computer is slow and shitty, and although my browser has long since cached the file thus leaving having zero affect on my bandwidth or render time, it slows down my computer every time I scroll past it because the processor can't handle the animation... and I don't know how to block it."
